IPOB warns MEND over negotiation for the release of Nnamdi Kanu

By -

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is warning the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to stay off its alleged negotiation for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained IPOB leader.

Nnamdi Kanu is facing treason charges, alongside two others, Benjamin Madubgwu and James Nwawuisi
This new warning comes a day after an earlier warning from the group to the same MEND against tabling any issue relating to Kanu’s freedom on the table as it negotiates with the federal government.

IPOB gives the feeling it does not trust MEND and would rather prefer to pitch tents with the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), a now deadly group in the Niger Delta region of the country.

To IPOB, the purported negotiation between MEND and the federal government is nothing but a ‘kangaroo’ arrangement or a jamboree.

The Sun reports that a statement from Emma Powerful, the media and publicity secretary of IPOB said the group would accept nothing less than an unconditional release of their leader.

The statement read: “IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not send MEND to negotiate for the release of our leader Kanu and other members in detention with him.

“It is unfortunate on the part of MEND to negotiate for the release our leader without the full knowledge of the organisation.

“We the members of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide and people of Biafra can never accept any release of our leader and other members detained alongside with him because he did not commit any crime, we can only accept the unconditional release of our leader, nothing more and nothing less.

“MEND is a group which does not know what it is looking for and who decided to stay and use the plights of their people to make demand from the  federal government, everybody knows that and Nnamdi Kanu is not the type who will sabotage the people of Biafra.

“Therefore, any group or individual that wants to use the struggle for Biafra to make money or to sabotage the independent state of Biafra will die with serious pains around him or her because this is God’s project which no human being can stop because it is a spirit that hovers around.”
